Jason Aldean’s 8th ‘concert For The Cure’ Set For New Orleans Later This Month (video)

He is an assistant professor of piano at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Ertl has given numerous recitals in Milwaukee, as the artist-in-residence for the PianoArts organization. Because of this background with young audiences, he will do a master class with Johnstown piano students from 1 to 3 p.m. at the church before his concert. Laura Williamson, a concert series board member, said being an educator was one of the things that the board liked about booking Ertl for a concert. Williamson said the master class is an opportunity for students to work with a professional musician other than their regular teachers. Its like taking a private lesson where an audience gets to watch, Williams said. A student is asked to perform a short program, and Dr. Ertl will give a lesson. The work is viewed by a new teacher, which brings a different perspective and sometimes a new interpretation of the music. Any piano students interested in attending the master class may contact Williamson at 410-6144. He also likes to talk to his audience about the music hes playing, Williamson said. Ertls program will include a sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven and Frederic Rzewskis Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues. Following intermission, he will play a composition by Franz Liszt.

Fiona Apple Leaves Concert Crying In Tears – NewsOXY

25, at Louisiana’s New Orleans Arena. Now in its eight year, Aldean’s 2013 “Concert for the Cure” event will take place at a venue where his Night Train Tour was a sell-put, according to an Oct. 5 missive from the entertainer’s PR camp. Throughout the year, Aldean –who is nominated for the CMA’s Entertainer of the Year trophy for the third time — sets aside 50 cents of each concert ticket sold, then selects one show market in October and donates all proceeds to its local Susan G. Komen affiliate. “Last year. the Komen New Orleans team needed a little over $1 million to meet all their needs, but they were only able to fund about half of that,” Aldean said. “If we raise the half a million that we did last year in Dallas, we’ll be able to help these women meet their goal and provide the services the town needs.” Now celebrating a second week atop the Billboard chart with his 12th No. 1 single, “Night Train,” Aldean landed three nods in this year’s CMA Awards, which will be held Nov. 6, including Male Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year for “The Only Way I Know” featuring Luke Bryan and Eric Church. For now, though, the Georgia-born performer’s mind is not on trophy wins, but on helping others via this month’s “Concert for the Cure.” “I can’t wait to see an arena full of pink in support of such a great cause!” he exclaimed.

The singers battle with the press and public over her image has been an epic one in recent weeks. Just over a month ago, she made headlines following an incident at a Fashion Week event in Tokyo in which she reportedly walked off stage when the crowd refused to, in her alleged words, shut the f**k up. Apple, 36, doesnt seem so out-of-character in the latest incident. Over an hour into the set, a fan in the first balcony shouted, Fiona! Get healthy! We want to see you in 10 years! Stereogum explains what happened next: Apple, understandably, looked aghast, then hurt, then furious. She unleashed a torrent of vitriol at the unseen member of the peanut gallery. I am healthy! Who the fuck do you think you are? I want you to get the fuck out of here. I want the house lights on so I watch you leave! The venue obliged and the offending fan left, but not without escalating. As she left, the heckler had a parting shot: I saw you 20 years ago and you were beautiful! As Apple reportedly became more emotional, The Oregonion reports that an unkind man also shouted, Youre a has-been! She then apparently said she was done, but muscled through Waltz (Better Than Fine) while sobbing.
